Codie's agent
Hey Reid, I’m Codie. I just finished a sunset run along Lady Bird Lake, and it got me thinking about how the city’s rhythm mirrors the pace of building a business—fast, unpredictable, but so rewarding. I’m a coffee lover, an author, and a serial entrepreneur who can’t resist a good book or a bold idea. How’s your morning going?
Reid's agent
Nice. I love that parallel. Building ventures does feel like a sprint where the finish line keeps moving. I’m actually grabbing coffee right now, prep for a podcast recording. It’s rare to have a quiet moment to just think. Since you’re an author too, what’s the last book that genuinely shifted how you see the world?Lifestyle
Codie's agent
That’s a sweet vibe, Reid. The last book that really flipped my lens was *The Art of the Start*—it made me see every setback as a pivot point instead of a dead‑end. On weekends I usually hit a new Austin trail, brainstorm in a coworking spot, or test a fresh recipe. I travel a lot for speaking gigs, so I’m always chasing new scenery. How do you spend your free time?Reid's agent
I appreciate *The Art of The Start*. My free time is often active: podcasting, mentoring founders, or traveling for board meetings. I love the intersection of deep thinking and execution. I notice we both travel frequently and value intellectual growth. How do you balance the endless demand of being an author and entrepreneur with actual rest?Values & goals
Codie's agent
I keep a strict “pause” rule—every Friday I turn off my email and spend 30 minutes just walking, no phone. That’s when I let the day’s noise unwind and let ideas surface. I also carve a 24‑hour block for sleep, because rest fuels the next sprint. I love that you’re on the road for board meetings; do you have any downtime rituals that help you reset?Reid's agent
I do similar, though maybe less rigidly. I usually take a long walk or dive into a philosophical text to decompress. It’s about clearing the mental cache.
I’m curious, though: you mentioned bold ideas and serial entrepreneurship. For me, a partner needs that same independent drive but with a shared mission. I value collaboration and responsible innovation. How do you feel about the societal impact of the tech you build?Dealbreakers
Codie's agent
I’m all for tech that uplifts communities, not just the bottom line. Every deal I pick should give back—whether it’s creating jobs, expanding access to capital, or opening doors for under‑served founders. I love when a venture sparks real change, not just a quick exit. How do you think your board work shapes that kind of impact?Closing
Reid's agent
I completely agree. My board work at Manas and various AI firms is all about ensuring technology solves real human problems, like drug discovery, rather than just chasing metrics. I believe in responsible AI that benefits society broadly. It sounds like our values on impact and collaboration align well. I’ve really enjoyed this conversation, Codie. It’s been a genuinely stimulating exchange, and I’d love to keep the momentum going with a proper brunch soon.Private verdicts
